@labmuffinbeautyscience: #stitch with Washington Post - Anytime you hear "fragrances are bad for your health because of phthalates", it's wrong on a pretty basic level… Phthalates are a class of ingredients with very different properties, like how alcohols can go from very toxic (methanol - 1 carbon) to not that bad (ethanol - 2 carbons), to moisturising (fatty alcohols - 10+ carbons) just by adding extra carbon atoms. The phthalates linked to health effects aren't used in fragrances and cosmetics - they don't have any function in them. They're used as plasticisers (and the evidence there is still not unequivocal). The only phthalate used in fragrances is diethyl phthalate, because it's been repeatedly found to be safe. I've been working on a fragrance science video - what other fragrance topics would you like me to cover? #fragrance #nontoxicliving #cleanbeauty #fragrancetiktok

People highly overestimate the dangers of aroma chemicals and highly UNDERestimate the danger of essential oils.

just don't drink the perfume and don't be allergic to it and you'll be fine

Please talk about the likelihood of irritation and allergy with essential oils (“natural” ingredients) vs aromachemicals

It's more harmful to drink a glass of wine than use perfume, we're concerned with the wrong thing 😭

I work in fragrances and we don’t use DEP anymore bc market doesn’t like it - so even IF it had issues it’s not commonly used in fragrances

I’m tired of people claiming all fragrance has phthalates because some random article online said so. Pthalates are NOT added to perfumes. The only way I can see pthalates being in perfumes is if it’s a very small perfume brand that uses DEP diluted fragrance oils.

I don’t understand why people are trying so hard to prove that fragrances are bad for health, while there’s a regulation and the fragrances are used in really small quantities, people just say the most random things, and somehow it the easiest thing to believe

There’s genuinely a problem with almost everything we use and consume, even fruits and veg because there’s always some pesticide issue or whatever. So let us live a little

Genuine question, almost all perfumes give me a headache but I have no issue with fragrances in soap or shampoo. Is there a big chemical difference between them?

So, can fragrances be bad for other reasons? Cause there’s alot on fragrances containing endocrine disrupters.
